Pbs: American Experience: Roads to Memphis

Curated by ACT

An insightful documentary [1:21:00] of the events leading up to the assassination of Martin L. King by James Earl Ray, and the escape and arrest of the killer. The turbulent political and social background of the time is made clear as is the deep reaction around America to King's murder. Can be seen as a 'cautionary tale of how the course of history can be forever altered by the actions of one individual.'
